You won’t see them around town, but a bunch of WFF ’16 films have cool posters.

It makes sense that the programmers at the Wisconsin Film Festival would choose the route of cinema purism and go with images taken directly from the films when promoting the lineup in print and online but, in doing so, they cut out a vital component in the marketing of a film: The poster. To fill this gap, we compiled a baker’s dozen of excellent posters for films that are screening this year which we thought were compelling, exciting, or just plain easy on the eyes. Click on the title and you’ll be whisked off to the WFF site, where you can learn more about the title or buy a ticket, so long as they’re not sold out.

Aaaaaaaah!

A photograph shows a medium close-up of different sizes of two t-shirt designs hanging on a clothing rack. The leftmost one is "Blade Runner" and the rightmost one is "The Thing." The "Blade Runner" tee prominently features Deckard's face (Harrison Ford) as well as text from the film in yellow and white, while "The Thing" tee includes small portraits of the cast arranged in two long rows with blue text and the iconic alien monster design rendered in black and white.

Pondering a shirt collection, and stumbling upon Cosmic Cabin, which has the goods—at least niche ones for cinephiles.

Still image from the film "The Annihilation Of Fish" shows a rainy park scene in Los Angeles with geese along the grass and paved trail. A man in a tuxedo and black trenchcoat carries a black umbrella in the foreground. His facial expression appears pensive and perhaps a bit upset. In the middleground, a woman in a blue floral dress and red and orange floral umbrella stands still and looks at him with a sense of sympathy and concern.
